Despite the win in the first leg, the fans of the pijao team are still excited about earning their fourth star and spoiling the rival’s party.

“The message has been clear: it is difficult, but not impossible. Junior is a great team, they have good players, they deserve to be in the final, but so do we,” declared coach Lucas González.

Tolima needs to score at least three goals to force a penalty shootout, while Junior only needs a draw or even a two-goal defeat to be crowned champion.

In that order of ideas, a duel is anticipated in which the locals come out to attack and the red and white team is solid in defense, looking for any possibility in the counterattack.

“We have a very experienced team. The messages between them are precisely to take care of the environment. We have to enjoy it, yes, but there is still one game left and it is not easy to play. Rarely are you up three goals from the first minutes,” said Alfredo Arias, Junior coach.
